People, given enough social stability and wealth and time always tend toward monotheism
Haunting, for the monotheist as he ultimately worships himself or worships that which is outside himself but arguably the Christian narrative presents a God capable of inhabiting the human (spirit) while encompassing and even surpassing creation (father).
Well done Taylor! I only wish I could have been a fly on the wall for those conversations with you, Michael and Grace!
Wholeheartedly agree (& disagree with Ricky!!). God(s) & faith are some of the few consistencies across history & culture. It is inevitable. I also think Ricky’s comment (I’m not sure what year he made it) is a bit outdated. I am optimistic that society is moving past the point of having to pit spirituality/mythology against science & realism. Both would be discovered & embraced again because both are required to live an ideal life & thriving community.
Also I had no idea about the Americans paying more for media than food annually.. insane. I appreciate the attention commentary.
Lastly, this essay reminded me of the quote: (I don’t know who said it and I could be butchering it, please feel free to correct if anyone knows) “Your believing in God does nothing for God.” We really reap all the benefits ourselves.
